In this research, solar power derives water pump to have water from bore well. From there, drawn water goes to reservoir. Outlet of tank (reservoir) is regulated by moisture sensor (MS) and controller, so that water consumption can be optimized. Flow of control is being controlled in this smart system, water is regulated from water tank to soil. Design of Solar Power Irrigation system saves electric energy by reducing the usage of grid energy, saves oil expenses incurred in tube wells, and most significant, it reduces wastage of water as it is an automatic system to secure water. Solar power, a cost effective source, can be a suitable solution to farmers, it has been proposed in this research that solar power irrigation system, when used with solar pump, MS and an automatic water control flow, seems to be realistic recommendation to implement throughout Pakistan so that this nation-state could overcome energy crisis and save the farmers from complications of not having sufficient resources for earning through agriculture. As solar power is abundant energy source, it is only answer to energy crisis, it is also environmentally friendly. PV (Photovoltaic) panels are made from PV cells and they are easy to use for getting solar energy from Sun rays. Efficiency comes from solar driving module, as it is crucial part of the research and moreover without using automatic irrigation component, this research would be worthless. Literature survey is given in this research with proposed solution and implementation, moreover cost analysis is done with help of results, and then conclusion is stated.
